Worth doing. - The cruise was fascinating. There are so many little islands with houses on them, not what we were expecting. The guide gave a lot of information which was very interesting. We chose to have a meal on the cruise and it was very well presented and tasty. Worth having the meal as you are in the restaurant and get a better view of the surroundings than on the lower deck. You can go on the top deck if the weather is good but was very cold when we visited in September.

Would love to do it again - The trip was really nice, otherwise you only see the many islands from the road, here we came right by, the beautiful houses on the small islands, the great big houses and of course the large castle with the fortress, I can only recommend it.

3 hour thousand island city cruise trip from Gananoque - We had a nice 3 hour tour by City Cruise. It started on time at 2 pm . The audio commentary about the places was in English and French. The view from upper open deck was nice . One can easily move around and take pics of the islands.We saw the Boldt Castle, Millioner Island , international bridge , the shortest bridge connecting US and Canada. There is covered deck too and has dining deck . We had popcorn and soft drink. The washroom was maintained too.The weather was pleasant. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

Beautiful trip but would be nice to hear commentary - Sit near the front if you are on the lower deck. We could not hear any commentary near the back due to loud engine.

It was cold, windy and raining so bc of that the experience is difficult to rate. - The snacks were overpriced. The staff selling the snacks appeared to be disorganized and it was not clear where you li ed up for the food.
